Improvise your Operational Readiness Testing (ORT) with Harness | Harness Blog
Blog post from Harness
Harness argues that traditional Operational Readiness Testing often becomes outdated after launch because it is treated as a one-time checklist rather than an ongoing assessment of changing services, dependencies, and configurations. Its Resilience Testing product integrates AI agents into CI/CD pipelines to continuously identify resilience risks, generate and execute tests, analyze results, and use findings as deployment gates. The platform supports chaos testing for failure resilience, load and composite load testing for behavior under traffic and faults, disaster-recovery testing to provide RTO/RPO evidence, and passive risk detection for configuration weaknesses such as missing health probes or inadequate redundancy. Harness positions these capabilities as technical evidence that can be repeatedly produced across deployments, while noting that they do not replace operational ORT activities such as reviewing runbooks, completing on-call handovers, or performing site checks.
